अन्नदानं तु यः कुर्य्याद्द्वारकायां तु तत्फलम् । नैव शक्नोम्यहं वक्तुं ब्रह्मा शेषमहेश्वरौ
annadānaṃ tu yaḥ kuryyāddvārakāyāṃ tu tatphalam | naiva śaknomyahaṃ vaktuṃ brahmā śeṣamaheśvarau
த்வாரகையில் அன்னதானம் செய்பவனின் பலனை நான் சொல்ல இயலாது; பிரம்மா, சேஷன், மகேஸ்வரனும் கூட அதை முழுமையாக உரைக்க முடியாது।
